humus

humus è simbolo di nutrimento,

è l’elemento che mantiene fertile il terreno

per nutrire il terreno fertile della cultura.

L’unione di arte e tecnica irrompe nell’Art Déco, come dimostra il magnifico vaso di Dagobert Peche decorato con l’aerografo ed esposto nella mostra ‘Art Déco. Il trionfo della modernità’ al Palazzo Reale di Milano.
Secondo il curatore Valerio Terraroli, qui in dialogo con la storica e critica del design Domitilla Dardi, tra gli Anni Venti e i Trenta avviene una presa di coscienza di quello che le Avanguardie artistiche avevano portato a inizio Novecento nel dibattito dell’arte.
L’Art Déco assimila i codici decorativi delle Avanguardie, basati sulla geometrizzazione e sulla semplificazione, utilizzando tecniche nuove per realizzarli, come, appunto, l’areografo. Una dinamica che ricorda l’utilizzo delle bombolette spray nella Pop Art e nella Street Art!
Un esempio interessante di come innovazione e creatività si influenzino a vicenda: con humus® esploreremo queste connessioni nel tempo presente.

The blend of art and technique is a leitmotiv of Art Deco, and here is demonstrated by the magnificent vase by Dagobert Peche, decorated with a spray gun and on display at the exhibition ‘Art Déco. Il trionfo della modernità’ at Palazzo Reale in Milan.
According to the curator Valerio Terraroli, here talking to the historian and design critic Domitilla Dardi, between the Twenties and Thirties the artistic Avant-Garde movement brought a level of consciousness to the artistic debate of the early 20th century.
Art Deco absorbs the decorative codes of the Avant-Garde, based on simple, geometric patterns created using new techniques, including spray guns. This dynamic reminds us of the spray cans used in Pop Art and Street Art!
One interesting example of how innovation and creativity influence each other: with humus® we will be exploring these connections in modern times.

One of the most important sources of the Art Deco taste was the inclusion of the expressive codes of the artistic Avant-Garde, including simpler, geometric shapes and decorations.

At that time, spray gun techniques and other innovative methods assured, and in some cases anticipated, these formal and expressive innovations, as we would see later in the use of spray cans in Pop Art and Street Art.

The relationship between art and technology is a herald of innovation, and will be one of the fields of investigation in humus®

In 1925, during the height of the Art Deco era, Italian manufacturers conquered the Paris Expo, marking the beginning of a new era for Made in Italy: a symbol of beauty and excellence.
humus® draws inspiration from this tradition, seeking that same beauty and quality that has made Made in Italy famous worldwide.
It will give space to the interpreters of the project, the voices of creativity, and create connections that help shape the utility of things.

Pollution was a revolutionary event that focused on environmental problems: it was 1972, and Italy was in the midst of an economic boom. Iris Ceramica covered Piazza Santo Stefano in Bologna with ceramic elements reproducing a clod of soil, fertile humus, inviting artists and musicians working on environmental issues, including Franco Battiato, to come and perform in the square.

In 2025, over half a century later, humus® becomes an ambassador for this plea, identifying stories and voices inspiring the change that, today, is more necessary than ever.

In the sixth issue of humus®, published in February 1975, the world-famous sociologist Marshall McLuhan, the first to grasp the impact of means of communication on society, published the article “Spacca il transistor se vuoi sopravvivere” (“Break the transistor if you want to survive”), a provoking and absolutely prophetic plea, considering the increasingly pervasive presence of the media in the world today. A proof of the quality and far-sightedness of Iris Ceramica Foundation's editorial project.

In the same way, humus® sets out in 2025 to offer effective interpretations of today’s reality, engaging specialists and intellectuals from a wide range of sectors.
Stay tuned!
